peugeot 508 review australia

The Peugeot 508 in Australia is the rare fastback/wagon that makes the school run feel a bit Cannes, minus the paparazzi. The 1.6‑litre turbo four is eager enough and the 8‑speed auto is silk; the plug‑in hybrid adds quiet shove for short commutes. Ride and handling are tidy—more long‑legged tourer than track toy—with a tiny steering wheel you’ll either adore or side‑eye. Cabin quality is lush, seats are superb, and the infotainment is now perfectly livable, if not lightning fast. Practicality’s solid (the Sportswagon is the pick), safety kit is generous, and the 5‑year/unlimited‑km warranty helps the maths. Expect new pricing roughly mid-$60k to low-$80k depending on spec, with used examples hovering from the $30k–$50k zone on places like Tradingpost.
